WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Keith A. Wall
Case No.: 2017AP2367-CR
Officials: FITZPATRICK, J.
Focus: Suppression of Evidence – Blood Test
Keith Wall was convicted of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, third offense. Wall moved to suppress a blood test result, arguing that it should be excluded from evidence because it was obtained without a warrant and because the law enforcement officers exercised excessive force in obtaining the sample. The Columbia County Circuit Court denied the motion, finding that the officers sought the test based on a good faith reliance on precedent and that the officers did not exercise excessive force in restraining Wall for the test. For the reasons outlined below, I affirm.
